Secure monitoring of private encounters

Abstract

A method and system for the secure recording, uploading and management of data, audio and video relating to person-to-person encounters to protect both participants from improper behavior in a closed setting, by either party, and to support the rules of digital of evidence in the case of a potential investigation all the while protecting the privacy of the participating parties.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for securely recording, uploading and managing data, audio and video relating to sensitive private and privileged person-to-person encounters, comprising:
 a secure recording device for collecting personal data, metadata, audio and video information of a user(s);   a secure communication system to transfer said sensitive and confidential data; and   a secure server for processing, organizing, storing and disseminating said sensitive and confidential data.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , in which the input from the recorded session, comprised of application data, video metadata, audio files and video are dynamically converted into separately linked uniquely encoded objects whose content, format, encoding and linkage algorithm is only known by the receiving server. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , where the method of transmitting the linked but separate objects are packed up for secure transmission using an asymmetrical encryption key for the message wrapper and symmetrical encryption key for the message contents. 
     
     
         1 . The system of  claim 1  where the separately encoded and encrypted but linked objects are transmitted through separate secure communications channels using SSL at random and at different times to different IP addresses to reach the final end servers. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  where the separately encoded and encrypted but linked objects can be prioritized for transmission based on their object data size so that application data, metadata and audio content will have transmission priority over larger video based content objects. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , where the separately encoded and encrypted but linked objects can be prioritized not only based on object size for bulk uploading but also for streaming in real time where lighter data object streams will get priority over heaver video content object streams. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , where the separate but linked video related objects will be further subdivided into a much smaller snap-shot version, to be used in bulk uploading or in live streaming, comprised of either video frames based on a defined timed interval or based on inter frames which will increase their priority in the transmission algorithm. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , where the separately encoded and encrypted but linked objects are stored off-line in a randomized fashion that can only be retrieved and reconstructed by a custodian who has privileged and logged access to the keys to provide digital evidence in the case of a formal investigation request.
